C32 Yellow springs bell
The black mist quietly disappeared, but Qin Lie and the Daoist was not relaxed at all. On the contrary, they felt their scalps going numb.
This was because they heard the sound of an opening door, and their hearts suddenly jumped. They immediately felt chills down their spines, and goosebumps rose all over their bodies.
"Creak …"
The sound came again. It was not an illusion, but it was real. This sound was too terrifying, ear-piercing, and narrow. It was as if an ancient, dilapidated door had just opened up a corner.
Qin Lie stood on top of the Boundary Tree's seedling, but at the moment, his surroundings had darkened. Ghost shadows were everywhere, and it was extremely frightening, and there was even the eerie sound of a broken wooden door opening.
Where did the sound of the broken wooden door come from? Is there something else coming out?
Qin Lie cautiously stood there. The Spiritual Sense was sharp, and carefully observed, he wanted to find the source of the terrifying sound to determine the direction, and to find out what exactly it was.
Later, Qin Lie realized that the sound of the wooden door swaying came from inside the Ancient Hall. The previously grand and majestic gate suddenly began to decay, and countless holes appeared on its surface.
Looking at the Ancient Hall's broken wooden door, Qin Lie felt that the Mountain Treasure in the dao's mouth was most likely an item of extreme yin. In this Ancient Hall, the Baleful Yin Force was incomparably dense.
At first glance, there wasn't anything in the black fog, but then a dozen coffins appeared, burying the deceased supreme expert who was sacrificed alive, wanting to seize his body. However, the black fog left without a sound, and soon after, the strange sound of the door opening could be heard.
Strange things happened one after another, making Qin Lie feel as if his soul was about to leave his body. He was drenched in cold sweat because Qin Lie had never experienced all of these strange things before, and this was the first time this had happened.
"Senior, do you know what this ancient palace is? Why do I feel like I've come to hell?" Qin Lie frowned.
"I don't know, although I have lived for a long time, I have never seen such an ancient palace. Just by the aura inside, I remember there were a hundred Martial Saints who perished in this place before, buried in this mountain. The Daoist was in a daze. When he saw me looking over, he forced a smile.
"Eh? There's a bell! " Suddenly, Qin Lie said.
Listening carefully, he suddenly heard the sound of the bell striking again and again.
"I heard it too, it's definitely not an illusion!"
"Creak …"
The sound of the rotten wood door opening became clearer and clearer, opening the door, Qin Lie and Su Yun heard it, there was a bell sound coming from inside.
"Clang!"
The bell chimes were not as loud as the bell chimes, but they were extremely sinister, like the death knell, bringing with it a sinister and evil aura, causing Qin Lie to feel a chill down his spine.
Following which, they could vaguely see a gate closing in on them. No one was pushing against it, but rather, it was moving forward on its own.
"The doors of the ancient palace have actually been separated from the ancient palace!"
Qin Lie was horrified, he was scared to the point that his soul was about to leave his body. He saw with his own eyes that the broken wooden door was separated from the palace and was moving forward on its own.
The Taoists was tattered all over, and it was so rotten that it looked as though residue was about to fall out. It had some moss on it, and from the looks of it, this door had already existed for many years, and would never rot.
Moreover, the top edge of the door made Qin Lie even more surprised. He was actually bleeding profusely, sometimes big and sometimes small.
Suddenly, Qin Lie could no longer remain calm. His instincts told him that this door was not normal, because it was stained with blood. The threshold could not be seen beneath him. It was not empty, but rather, submerged. It was a surging river of blood that continued to flow endlessly, churning up heaven overflowing waves of blood as it pushed towards the door.
"Does this door come from hell? To think that it would be stained with so much blood! " Facing the door, Qin Lie felt as if he was facing a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
He began to hallucinate, and a great scene appeared before his eyes. Slaughter was happening in every one of the eighteen small worlds. There were countless creatures, and all of them were extremely powerful. However, they were all massacred.
Following that, a great divine ability appeared within these eighteen small worlds. The accumulated corpses and blood rivers were all moved away, before all of them were poured onto a wooden door.
"Hua Hua Hua …"
This was the sound of blood pouring down, like a huge dragon soaring, or a giant tiger roaring. It was too vast, and the sea of blood flowed into the sky, filling it up. It was as if the sky had been turned around, and the Taoists was being baptized by the sea of blood, falling endlessly.
There were too many creatures that died. Bone fragments were scattered about, and their blood floated on the oars. This scene was too terrifying. The sea of blood continuously poured down, never stopping. After pouring down for a hundred years, it finally stopped.
This land was dyed blood-red. A blood-red mountain range, blood-red lands, and even the ancient trees were blood-red. They were all dyed red by this blood.
In the midst of the blood rain, there was a rotten wooden door with a blood-red body. It was quietly standing in the middle of the world.
"Ah …" Qin Lie and the Daoist cried out at the same time, the blood in their entire bodies boiling. Their eyes were filled with blood, as they entered a crazed state.
It was not only Qin Lie, but also the Taoist. They had seen the entire scene, and for some reason, after the scene ended, they felt their bodies burning, their blood boiling, as though it was about to explode.
"Calm your mind, calm your mind!" The Daoist yelled. This blood sect was too strange, and even his will was shaken.
Then, he began to recite a scripture and passed it down to Qin Lie, to be known as the《 Profound Grimoire》.
The two of them sat there cross-legged, their lips slightly parted. The scripture of an unknown great Dao was recited, and in the darkness bloomed golden lotuses one after another, vivid and lifelike.
This profound manual was also extraordinary, its grade was definitely not ordinary, it was at the acme of perfection, and very quickly, the crimson red eyes disappeared, and it returned to normal.
"Phew …" It's too terrifying, Senior, did you see that just now? " Qin Lie swallowed and exhaled, the blood red in his eyes had already disappeared, and there was lingering fear in his heart as he asked.
The reason why he suspected that the sea of blood had reached the sky just now was because it was the same as him — both of its eyes were scarlet red, even more so than his own.
The Daoist man thought for a while before replying in a solemn and deep voice, "This kind of scene is rarely seen. I've only seen this kind of scene once before."
Qin Lie knew that he was referring to the scene of countless lives being killed, massacred, and then their blood and bones being used to water this blood door.
This was absolutely shocking. It could even be called a massacre, as if the ancient emperors were making their move. Within these eighteen small worlds, every single creature died at the same instant, and no one made a move against them.
"This blood door was left behind by the ancient emperors?" Qin Lie was horrified, goosebumps rose up all over his body. At this moment, the rotten blood door did not move, it just stood there quietly in the distance, facing Qin Lie and the others, while blood continued to pour down its back.
"Clang!"
"Clang!"
"Clang!"
Suddenly, the death knell sounded again, causing Qin Lie to feel dizzy as if he was going through a cycle of reincarnation. His body suddenly became weak and aged.
Although the Daoist was much older than Qin Lie, it was not important, because the bell had already ignored the power of time, and sped up their aging process.
"Pa Da Pa Da …"
Pieces of flesh congealed into pieces, and fell off their bodies one by one. Very quickly, Qin Lie and the Taoist only had their flesh left, with nothing left on them but a white skeleton.
"Ah …" How did I become like this? " Qin Lie was shocked, his heart was in turmoil, even he himself was shocked. After ten thousand years, he had aged, and his flesh had fallen, leaving behind only a white skeleton.
Soon after, he discovered that the Daoist was also like this, causing him to be even more shocked.
What had happened?
How did the two of them instantly become a pile of bones?
"No …" "I don't believe it …" Qin Lie couldn't help but shout out, he was extremely agitated.
Anyone who encountered such a situation would be terrified, because this was too strange. All the flesh and blood had disappeared, leaving behind only a white skeleton. The space and time had not changed, and the surrounding trees were all in their prime.
Qin Lie's skeleton was sparkling, a light appeared from within the skull. He looked at the blood-stained wooden door, he remembered that they became like that after the death knell sounded, and from that, Qin Lie speculated, could it be that the bell was playing some trick?
He was very anxious, like an ant on a hot pan, because this appearance was too strange. How could a white skeleton go out to meet someone? If they were to leave, they would be killed as if they were undead.
Therefore, he urgently wanted to recover his real body and find the blood and flesh that had fallen.
"Calm down, even though your body and I fell, didn't you notice? After turning into bones, the feeling of the physical body will still exist. It's just that the image is bones of a dead person. "
At this moment, the Daoist man explained. Although he was panicking the moment his body disappeared, he had returned to normal. This explanation revealed that something was amiss.
"Hmm? "So it's like that!" Qin Lie looked at his bare hands that did not have a single strand of flesh. He gently stroked them, but he could still feel the existence of flesh and blood, and it was not just an ice-cold skeleton.
Could it just be a facade, and not my physical body? Qin Lie was suspicious, the blood door was too mysterious, not only was there the sound of the death knell, but the sound could make a person's body no longer exist, what kind of evil bell was this?
Although he was afraid, Qin Lie still wanted to push open the door and take a look.
"Clang!"
The death knell rang again. After the sound, Qin Lie and the Daoist was no longer white bones, but new bodies.
"He's recovered again?" Qin Lie was astonished. He had reformed his body once again, and it was even more translucent than before.
His expression was solemn, Qin Lie had never seen such an expression before, not even when he was facing the black fog earlier. But now, it had appeared.
"Yellow Springs Bell …" The sound of metal clanging against wood could be heard for ten miles. A bell chimes to sever ties with the world, allowing one to rise above the clouds. "
Suddenly, he thought of an ancient Spiritual Artifact. After spitting out the three words, his face became deathly pale. Clearly, this sort of scene was terrifying even to major powers. They had never encountered something like this before.
Yellow Springs Bell?
Qin Lie's heart skipped a beat, he felt a bit uneasy. This uneasiness was even worse than the bloody, rotten door.
"What is the Yellow Springs Bell?" Qin Lie asked carefully. Because of this name, his scalp tingled with uneasiness as he listened.
